TAG.

Application filed April 22, 1925. Serial No. 25,086.

i The device forming the subject matter of this application is a tag of the kind applled to a button on a garment, for purposes well understood by everyone.

The invention aims to provide a tag so constructed that it may be assembled with a garment button readily, the tag retaining its hold upon the button, or more specifically, upon the stitching which connects the button with the garment.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally I and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.

Although a preferred form has been shown, it will be understood that a mechanic, work ing within the scope of what is claimed, may make such changes as his skill may suggest, without departing from the spirit of the in- 2 vention.

In the accompanying drawings V Figure 1 shows in plan, a tag constructed in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1-.

In carrying out the invention, there is supplied a tag 1 provided with an opening 2 approximating diamond shape and defined by long edges 3 and short edges l, the long edges 3 being disposed on opposite sides of the opening 2 at opposite ends of the opening 2, and the short edges 4 bearing a like relation to each other, there being apertures 5 in the tag 1 at said ends of the opening 2, the tag 1 being provided with reduced slits 6 communicating with the apertures 5, and with the opening 2 at said ends thereof.

The tag preferably is made of material which is'slightly flexible. The construction is such that when the tag 1 is pushed either upwardly or downwardly, the stitching which connects the button (not shown) with the garment, will pass through one or the other of the slits 6 and be received in the apertures 5, a secure hold for the tag, on the garment, thus being attained. Owing to the specific way in which the edges 3 and 4 of the opening 2 are arranged, a button may be introduced readily through the opening, regardless of thesize of the button within limits which the opening 2 will accommodate.

I claim i r I A tag of greater length than width and provided with spaced apertures and with an opening which is elongated in the direction of the length of the tag, the apertures being located in a line parallel to the length of the tag, the opening being diamond shaped and being 111 communication at 1ts acute angles with the apertures, the slant edges that define the aforesaid acute angles converging toward the apertures at opposite ends of the opening, thereby to direct a button fastening into one of the apertures when the'tag is moved in one direction parallel to its length, and to direct the button fastening into the other of the apertures when the tag is moved in an opposite direction parallel to its length.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiiixed my signature.

0. O. RICHARDSON.
